Final Order in the matter of M/s. India Global Research Page 4 of 11 deposited into their bank account from these payment gateways and the Noticees used to enjoy the usufructs. Assuming for the sake of argument that a fraud has been committed upon them, I do not find any action being taken by these Noticees, against the purported fraudsters, after the discovery of the purported fraud. In view of the above, I find that such claims are being made by these Noticees, only to escape from the consequences of the present proceedings.
